Timing Side-Channel Vulnerability in Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS)

CVE-2013-1620 · MEDIUM Severity

AV:N/AC:M/AU:N/C:P/I:N/A:N

The TLS implementation in Mozilla Network Security Services (NSS) does not properly consider timing side-channel attacks on a noncompliant MAC check operation during the processing of malformed CBC padding, which allows remote attackers to conduct distinguishing attacks and plaintext-recovery attacks via statistical analysis of timing data for crafted packets, a related issue to CVE-2013-0169.
